Digital Preservation Best Practices and Guidelines

What is digital preservation?

Digital preservation is a series of managed activities necessary to ensure continued access to digital materials for as long as they are needed.

What does this mean for you?

The more thoughtful you are about creating and managing your digital files, the longer they'll be around in the future.
